Chanteur Rhythm 'n' Blues US né Benjamin Earl Nelson, le 28
Septembre 1938 à Henderson (Caroline du Nord). Ben E. King
arriva à New York en 1950 quand ses parents vinrent y établir leur domicile. Il
commença sa carrière de chanteur avec les
Five Crowns puis
Drifters, dont il fut le soliste. Ben E. King continua une carrière en solo fin 1961
qui se solda par d'immenses succès.
Ben E. King est décédé le 30 Avril 2015 dans le New Jersey.
From the
groundbreaking orchestrated productions of
the Drifters to his own solo hits, Ben E. King was the definition of R&B
elegance. King's plaintive baritone had all the passion of gospel, but the
settings in which it was displayed were tailored more for his honey smooth
phrasing and crisp enunciation, proving for perhaps the first time that R&B
could be sophisticated and accessible to straight pop audiences. King's approach
influenced countless smooth soul singers in his wake and his records were key
forerunners of the Motown sound.
King was born Benjamin Earl Nelson in Henderson, NC, in 1938, and sang with his
church choir before the family moved to Harlem in 1947. In junior high, he began
performing with a street corner doo wop group called
the Four B's, which won second place in an Apollo Theater talent contest.
While still in high school, he was offered a chance to join
the Moonglows, but was simply too young and inexperienced to stick. He
subsequently worked at his father's restaurant as a singing waiter, which led to
an invitation to become the baritone singer in a doo wop outfit called
the Five Crowns in 1958.
The Five Crowns performed several
gigs at the Apollo Theater along with
the Drifters, whose career had begun to flounder in the years since original
lead singer
Clyde McPhatter departed.
Drifters manager George Treadwell, dissatisfied with the group
members' unreliability and lack of success, fired them all in the summer of 1958
and hired the Five Crowns to assume
the name of
the Drifters (which he owned).
The new
the Drifters toured for about a year, playing to often hostile audiences who
knew they were a completely different group. In early 1959, they went into the
studio with producers Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller to cut their first records.
A song Nelson (still performing under his given name) co-wrote called "There
Goes My Baby" became his first lead Vocals and the lush backing arrangement made
highly unorthodox (in fact, virtually unheard-of) use of a string section.
"There Goes My Baby" became a massive hit, laying the groundwork for virtually
every smooth/uptown soul production that followed. Over the next two years,
Nelson sang lead on several other
Drifters classics, including "Dance With Me," "This Magic Moment,"
"Save the Last Dance for Me," and "I Count the Tears."
In 1960, Nelson approached Treadwell about a salary increase and a fairer share
of the group's royalties. Treadwell rebuffed him and Nelson quit the group, at
this point assuming the more memorable stage name Ben E. King in preparation for
a solo career. Remaining on Atlantic, King scored his first solo hit with the
stylish, Latin-tinged ballad "Spanish Harlem," a Jerry Leiber/Phil Spector
composition that hit the Top Ten in early 1961. The follow-up, "Stand By Me," a
heartfelt ode to friendship and devotion co-written by King, became his
signature song and an enduring R&B classic; it was also his biggest hit, topping
the R&B charts and reaching the pop Top Five. King scored a few more chart
singles through 1963, including velvety smooth pop-soul productions like "Amor,"
"Don't Play That Song (You Lied)," and the Italian tune "I (Who Have Nothing)."
In the post-British Invasion years, King had a rough go of it on the pop charts
but continued to score R&B hits. 1967's Southern-fried "What Is Soul?" was one
of his last singles for Atco; seeking to revive his commercial fortunes, King
departed in 1969.
A 1970 album on Maxwell, Rough Edges, failed to generate much attention, and
King was forced to make a living touring the oldies circuit. In 1975, Atlantic
president Ahmet Ertegun caught King's act in a Miami lounge and invited him to
re-sign with the label. King scored an unlikely comeback smash with the disco
track "Supernatural Thing, Part I," which returned him to the top of the R&B
charts in 1975 and also reached the pop Top Five. While he was unable to
duplicate that single's success, King recorded several more albums for Atlantic
up through 1981, and also collaborated with the Average White Band in 1977 on
the album Benny & Us. After leaving Atlantic a second time, King toured in a
version of
the Drifters beginning in 1982. In 1986, "Stand By Me" was prominently
featured in the Rob Reiner film of the same name; re-released as a single, it
climbed into the Top Ten all over again. In its wake, King returned to solo
recording, issuing a new album every few years all the way up through the '90s.
He also guested on recordings by Heaven 17 and Mark Knopfler, among others.
King's 1999 album Shades of Blue (on Half Note Records) found him branching
out into jazz territory, performing with a big band and guests like Milt Jackson
and David "Fathead" Newman. 2006 saw the release of a brand new album, I've Been
Around, on True Life Records.
Ben E. King died April 30, 2015 in New Jersey.
